Matt Ryan or Tony Romo?

**IBleedPurple2127** · 03-29-2013, 08:58 PM

If you were starting a team and had a choice between Matt Ryan or Tony Romo who would you take?

I've personally never liked Ryan. He seems like a player who lucked into having the best skill players any QB has in the league. He seems like he can't handle the big moment either.

Tony Romo also at times can't handle the big moment but I love the way he can extend plays and when he isn't throwing a dumb into, he has a great arm.

I think I'd take Romo...I think he'd be a top 5 QB in this league without the pressure of being in Dallas and playing under the dumbest owner in the NFL.

I'd take Ryan. I love to hate on him, but he's got the skills to win a SB eventually. The only thing I didn't like about him is he's got a shit eating grin.

Ryan all the way. He's not nearly as bad as the fans say he is. He hasn't been clutch necessarily, but he's more than capable of making the leap that Flacco made, whereas Romo all too often shits his pants in glorious fashion, all while achieving nothing of major significance when the chips are down.

btw, has same number of playoff wins as Tony Romo in less amount of time.

The way I rationalize the comparison of these two QBs: In your heart of hearts, if you're being honest with yourself, would you be as surprised to see Matt Ryan win a Super Bowl as you would Tony Romo? I would love to put money down that Romo never even gets to a Super Bowl as a starting quarterback, let alone wins one. I would sleep like a baby with money down on that. With Matt Ryan, no way would I take that chance, not yet.

But Ryan's had far better weapons and a run game to lean in IMO. Dallas seems to always be near last in the league in rushing. If they want Romo to get them further they need to fix the Oline and running game.

But I'd still probably take Ryan ;)

I don't see how this is even a question. Since 2006, Romo has topped 8 wins just twice. Ryan has never had fewer than 9 wins in a season, has made the playoffs 4 of 5 years, and been to the NFC Championship game. He's not Joe Montana in the playoffs but he sure as hell is better than Romo. Factoring in other things like age, no GM in the league would take Romo over Ryan right now. None.

I don't think that Ryan is any better or worse than Flacco. It just chaps my ass that the sports media slobbers all over Matty Ice's knob, and then shits on Joe Cool. That my friend is why we Ravens fans have issues with Matt Ryan.

That being said Tony "No Show" Romo is a really bad QB. People love him in fantasy football be cause he does post decent stats in the regular season, but never in the win column or post-season. The same could be said for Ryan, but he is a much younger QB with a lot more of his career in front of him.

I say I would take Matt Ryan over Romo if Joe Flacco wasn't available.

The Matt Ryan bashing is so out of control on this board I'm almost rooting for him to go all the way to shut some of this stupid "he can't win the big one" crap up.

I can't respect anybody's opinion that insists on making declarative statements of guys never winning anything at the age of 27.

Most of that was knee jerk frustration from people hating on Flacco for failing to win a Super Bowl before this year (and explaining away his playoff success by crediting everyone but him), while Ryan got accolades for an even lesser performance in the playoffs.

The national pundits swing on his jock, but shit on Joe. 1 playoff win....The media stirs up the hate.

I don't think it's knee jerk because people here are still saying the same bullshit even after Joe won it all this year.
